Inventor: DYMOND GEORGE CECIL
IPC: H03B11/02
Filed: 1910-08-05
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 18,545. Dymond, G. C., [Ges. f³r Drahtlose Telegraphie]. Aug. 5. Electric oscillations, producing.-In an arrangement for producing slightly damped oscillations by the shockexcitation method, the exciting-circuit contains two or more spark-gaps, one or more of the gaps being so arranged that they do not limit the potential to which the condenser can be charged. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the second spark - gap 4 is shunted by a high-frequency impedance 7, or by a condenser or ohmic resistance, so that the potential to which the condenser 5 is charged is controlled by the spark-gap 3, but when this gap breaks down the high-frequency discharge passes through both gaps in series, and is consequently very rapidly damped. In modifications, the seccnd spark-gap is inserted directly in the charging-circuit of the condenser, and is broken down by the charging-current. Several of the additional shunted spark-gaps may be arranged in series. Some or all of the sparkgaps may be of the kind in which a spark is rapidly quenched, such as mercury vapour lamps. The coil 7 may be the secondary of an induction coil, the primary of which may be supplied with current from a separate source.

Title: Improvements relating to the Dessication of Air and other Gases.
IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1910-08-08
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 18,698. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude). Aug. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Drying air and gases.-In the drying of air or gas by cooling below 0‹ C., the formation of ice from the contained moisture is prevented by mixing with the air or gas the vapour of a volatile liquid which is miscible with water and forms therewith an aqueous mixture which solidifies less readily than water. Methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol are specifically mentioned as suitable volatile liquids. The invention is stated to be applicable in the liquefaction of air, the production of hydrogen from water-gas by partial liquefaction, and the manufacture of ozone. Fig. 1 shows one form of apparatus. The moist compressed air is charged with the alcohol vapour by suitable means, such as a drip lubricator A, and is then passed upwards through the tubes of the exchanger E to the expansion motor M. From the motor, it passes through the liquefying- apparatus L to the space around the tubes of the exchanger E. The aqueous liquid runs down the tubes of the exchanger and accumulates in the chamber G. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the exchanger is divided into three nests of tubes connected to chambers C, C<1>, C<2>; baffles M, M<1> are fitted in the chambers C, C<1>. In the first nest of tubes, very aqueous liquids are formed and collect below in the chamber C, while in the other two nests liquids successively richer in alcohol are deposited. The gas or gases that circulate around the outside of the tubes are the cold expanded gases from some process of liquefaction.
